Congress has been arguing over how to limit the current Medicare/Medicaid systems to keep them from going broke and taking the American economic system with them. Some genius at HHS thinks this is the most propitious moment to talk about sticking taxpayers with sex-change surgery bills?
Smooth move. But don’t think for a moment this won’t come back later, either.

Of course not: Under the radical dispensation, that which is not forbidden is mandatory, and to say that someone has a “right” to do something will be interpreted to mean that taxpayers are obligated to pay them to do it. This is what the entire fight about “marriage equality” is about: Granting same-sex couples access to whatever government benefits married couples get.

Our national motto has been changed from “E Pluribus Unum” to “What’s In It For Me?”

There is no real opposition to people cohabiting, having wedding ceremonies and calling their unions “marriages” — live and let live, whatever floats your boat — but there is understandable resistance to government action that requires us to treat such pairings as perfect analogs of man and wife. In addition to any traditional moral objections, there is the suspicion that this sort of radical “equality” will end up costing taxpayers money and restricting individual freedom. And one individual freedom that is already being eroded is the right to express traditional moral objections, so that the Family Research Council can be stigmatized as a “hate group” and targeted for terrorism by the sans-culottes of the new Jacobinism.

The Eight Amendment? If a convicted murderer doesn’t have a vagina, that’s “cruel and unusual punishment”? As strange as this sounds, it is entirely logical if you accept the premise of sexual “rights” as understood by liberals.

It’s almost like the Progressives took a list of the proscribing laws and rules in the Bible and put it on their “To Do” list, and took the list of prescriptive laws and rules and said “Shut this sh*t down quick!”

I remember American society scorning Evangelicals in the 80s and 90s who talked about spiritual warfare and the quickmarch into depravity with apathy.

If a male convicted murderer gets a vagina while incarcerated, is he transferred to a wimmyns prison?

Maybe we could ask those three dead men in the basement of Wright’s church how far Obama has evolved.

Okay, can Stacy belt “The Time Warp” like Richard O’Brien?

Yes. He is considered a she as soon as ‘she’ decides she is a she. At least, that’s how it works in the workplace and restrooms. Like the rapist who decided he was a she and was given access to the girls’ restroom.

The next time they propose it they’ll get 60% of the outcry they got this time; then 30%; then 10% and it’s done.
